Abstract:
Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, the role of pharmacists in disaster areas has grown in importance and responsibilities have become increasingly diverse. During the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, we participated in disaster relief activities as a pharmacist team. In these efforts, we worked alongside the Kansai Intensive Area Care Unit for SARS-CoV-2 "KISA2-tai". We encountered a situation that highlights the critical role of pharmacist teams in disaster relief efforts at an intensive care home for the elderly. Herein, we report the results and problems encountered during these activities.
